Re: 1992 Typhoon Wastegate overboost problem

Rick,

cheers for your input! Mycha appreciated as always.

OK, so i drove it back today and I now have a couple of questions...

At around 160kph there was some serious knocking so I backed off immediately. How can I resolve this? i did have my foot to the floor (only a couple of times - honest!)

I read those two sites that you gave me, but there wasn no mention of how to fix a sticky wastegate? I am planning on doing as much work as ican myself as I don't really trust anyone else - nobody knows these cars really.

So, do I replace the wastgegate which is integral meaning I probably need a new turbo, in which case which one to get?

Can I take the wastgate mechanism apart and fix it so it is easier?

Should I seal it open and get an external wastegate and mount it?

I'll be on the syty forums as well looking for parts. I can't wait and I love my new car.

I'll have some pics up soon I hope.

cheers,

Mark
